Computing molecular excited states on a D-Wave quantum annealer.

ABSTRACT: The possibility of using quantum computers for electronic structure calculations has opened up a promising avenue for computational chemistry. Towards this direction, numerous algorithmic advances have been made in the last five years. The potential of quantum annealers, which are the prototypes of adiabatic quantum computers, is yet to be fully explored. In this work, we demonstrate the use of a D-Wave quantum annealer for the calculation of excited electronic states of molecular systems. These simulations play an important role in a number of areas, such as photovoltaics, semiconductor technology and nanoscience. The excited states are treated using two methods, time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) and time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT), both within a commonly used Tamm-Dancoff approximation (TDA). The resulting TDA eigenvalue equations are solved on a D-Wave quantum annealer using the Quantum Annealer Eigensolver (QAE), developed previously. The method is shown to reproduce a typical basis set convergence on the example [Formula: see text] molecule and is also applied to several other molecular species. Characteristic properties such as transition dipole moments and oscillator strengths are computed as well. Three potential energy profiles for excited states are computed for [Formula: see text] as a function of the molecular geometry. Similar to previous studies, the accuracy of the method is dependent on the accuracy of the intermediate meta-heuristic software called qbsolv.

Nonnegative/Binary matrix factorization with a D-Wave quantum annealer.

Project description:D-Wave quantum annealers represent a novel computational architecture and have attracted significant interest. Much of this interest has focused on the quantum behavior of D-Wave machines, and there have been few practical algorithms that use the D-Wave. Machine learning has been identified as an area where quantum annealing may be useful. Here, we show that the D-Wave 2X can be effectively used as part of an unsupervised machine learning method. This method takes a matrix as input and produces two low-rank matrices as output-one containing latent features in the data and another matrix describing how the features can be combined to approximately reproduce the input matrix. Despite the limited number of bits in the D-Wave hardware, this method is capable of handling a large input matrix. The D-Wave only limits the rank of the two output matrices. We apply this method to learn the features from a set of facial images and compare the performance of the D-Wave to two classical tools. This method is able to learn facial features and accurately reproduce the set of facial images. The performance of the D-Wave shows some promise, but has some limitations. It outperforms the two classical codes in a benchmark when only a short amount of computational time is allowed (200-20,000 microseconds), but these results suggest heuristics that would likely outperform the D-Wave in this benchmark.

Electronic structure with direct diagonalization on a D-wave quantum annealer.

Project description:Quantum chemistry is regarded to be one of the first disciplines that will be revolutionized by quantum computing. Although universal quantum computers of practical scale may be years away, various approaches are currently being pursued to solve quantum chemistry problems on near-term gate-based quantum computers and quantum annealers by developing the appropriate algorithm and software base. This work implements the general Quantum Annealer Eigensolver (QAE) algorithm to solve the molecular electronic Hamiltonian eigenvalue-eigenvector problem on a D-Wave 2000Q quantum annealer. The approach is based on the matrix formulation, efficiently uses qubit resources based on a power-of-two encoding scheme and is hardware-dominant relying on only one classically optimized parameter. We demonstrate the use of D-Wave hardware for obtaining ground and excited electronic states across a variety of small molecular systems. The approach can be adapted for use by a vast majority of electronic structure methods currently implemented in conventional quantum-chemical packages. The results of this work will encourage further development of software such as qbsolv which has promising applications in emerging quantum information processing hardware and has expectation to address large and complex optimization problems intractable for classical computers.

Lossy compression of statistical data using quantum annealer.

Project description:We present a new lossy compression algorithm for statistical floating-point data through a representation learning with binary variables. The algorithm finds a set of basis vectors and their binary coefficients that precisely reconstruct the original data. The optimization for the basis vectors is performed classically, while binary coefficients are retrieved through both simulated and quantum annealing for comparison. A bias correction procedure is also presented to estimate and eliminate the error and bias introduced from the inexact reconstruction of the lossy compression for statistical data analyses. The compression algorithm is demonstrated on two different datasets of lattice quantum chromodynamics simulations. The results obtained using simulated annealing show 3-3.5 times better compression performance than the algorithm based on neural-network autoencoder. Calculations using quantum annealing also show promising results, but performance is limited by the integrated control error of the quantum processing unit, which yields large uncertainties in the biases and coupling parameters. Hardware comparison is further studied between the previous generation D-Wave 2000Q and the current D-Wave Advantage system. Our study shows that the Advantage system is more likely to obtain low-energy solutions for the problems than the 2000Q.

On good encodings for quantum annealer and digital optimization solvers.

Project description:Several optimization solvers inspired by quantum annealing have been recently developed, either running on actual quantum hardware or simulating it on traditional digital computers. Industry and academics look at their potential in solving hard combinatorial optimization problems. Formally, they provide heuristic solutions for Ising models, which are equivalent to quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO). Constraints on solutions feasibility need to be properly encoded. We experiment on different ways of performing such an encoding. As benchmark we consider the cardinality constrained quadratic knapsack problem (CQKP), a minimal extension of QUBO with one inequality and one equality constraint. We consider different strategies of constraints penalization and variables encoding. We compare three QUBO solvers: quantum annealing on quantum hardware (D-Wave Advantage), probabilistic algorithms on digital hardware and mathematical programming solvers. We analyze their QUBO resolution quality and time, and the persistence values extracted in the quantum annealing sampling process. Our results show that a linear penalization of CQKP inequality improves current best practice. Furthermore, using such a linear penalization, persistence values produced by quantum hardware in a generic way allow to match a specific CQKP metric from literature. They are therefore suitable for general purpose variable fixing in core algorithms for combinatorial optimization.

Multistate Energy Decomposition Analysis of Molecular Excited States.

Project description:A multistate energy decomposition analysis (MS-EDA) method is described to dissect the energy components in molecular complexes in excited states. In MS-EDA, the total binding energy of an excimer or an exciplex is partitioned into a ground-state term, called local interaction energy, and excited-state contributions that include exciton excitation energy, superexchange stabilization, and orbital and configuration-state delocalization. An important feature of MS-EDA is that key intermediate states associated with different energy terms can be variationally optimized, providing quantitative insights into widely used physical concepts such as exciton delocalization and superexchange charge-transfer effects in excited states. By introducing structure-weighted adiabatic excitation energy as the minimum photoexcitation energy needed to produce an excited-state complex, the binding energy of an exciplex and excimer can be defined. On the basis of the nature of intermolecular forces through MS-EDA analysis, it was found that molecular complexes in the excited states can be classified into three main categories, including (1) encounter excited-state complex, (2) charge-transfer exciplex, and (3) intimate excimer or exciplex. The illustrative examples in this Perspective highlight the interplay of local excitation polarization, exciton resonance, and superexchange effects in molecular excited states. It is hoped that MS-EDA can be a useful tool for understanding photochemical and photobiological processes.

Molecular Energy Landscapes of Hardware-Efficient Ansatze in Quantum Computing.

Project description:Rapid advances in quantum computing have opened up new opportunities for solving the central electronic structure problem in computational chemistry. In the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era, where qubit coherence times are limited, it is essential to exploit quantum algorithms with sufficiently short quantum circuits to maximize qubit efficiency. The procedural construction of hardware-efficient ansätze provides one approach to design such circuits. However, refining the accuracy of the global minimum by increasing circuit depth may lead to a proliferation of local minima that hinders global optimization. To investigate this phenomenon, we explore the energy landscapes of hardware-efficient circuits to identify ground-state energies of the hydrogen, lithium hydride, and beryllium hydride molecules. We also propose a simple dimensionality reduction procedure that reduces quantum gate depth while retaining high accuracy for the global minimum, simplifying the energy landscape, and hence speeding up optimization from both software and hardware perspectives.

Spectroscopic disentanglement of the quantum states of highly excited Cu<sub>2</sub>.

Project description:Transition metals, characterised by their partially filled d orbitals, provide the basis for many of the most relevant processes in chemistry, biology, and physics. Embedded as single atoms or in small clusters, they give rise to exceptional optical, chemical, and magnetic properties. So far, it has proven impossible to disentangle the complex network of excited quantum states, which greatly hinders prediction and control of material properties. Here, we apply two-colour resonant four-wave mixing to quantitatively resolve the quantum states of the neutral copper dimer. This allows us to unwind the individual spectral lines by isotopic composition and rotational quantum number and reveals a rich network of bright and perturbing dark states. While this work presents a road map for the experimental study of the bonding between and with transition metal atoms, it also provides experimental reference data for prospective quantum chemical approaches on handling systems with a high density of states.

Breaking limitation of quantum annealer in solving optimization problems under constraints.

Project description:Quantum annealing is a generic solver for optimization problems that uses fictitious quantum fluctuation. The most groundbreaking progress in the research field of quantum annealing is its hardware implementation, i.e., the so-called quantum annealer, using artificial spins. However, the connectivity between the artificial spins is sparse and limited on a special network known as the chimera graph. Several embedding techniques have been proposed, but the number of logical spins, which represents the optimization problems to be solved, is drastically reduced. In particular, an optimization problem including fully or even partly connected spins suffers from low embeddable size on the chimera graph. In the present study, we propose an alternative approach to solve a large-scale optimization problem on the chimera graph via a well-known method in statistical mechanics called the Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation or its variants. The proposed method can be used to deal with a fully connected Ising model without embedding on the chimera graph and leads to nontrivial results of the optimization problem. We tested the proposed method with a number of partition problems involving solving linear equations and the traffic flow optimization problem in Sendai and Kyoto cities in Japan.

A coherent quantum annealer with Rydberg atoms.

Project description:There is a significant ongoing effort in realizing quantum annealing with different physical platforms. The challenge is to achieve a fully programmable quantum device featuring coherent adiabatic quantum dynamics. Here we show that combining the well-developed quantum simulation toolbox for Rydberg atoms with the recently proposed Lechner-Hauke-Zoller (LHZ) architecture allows one to build a prototype for a coherent adiabatic quantum computer with all-to-all Ising interactions and, therefore, a platform for quantum annealing. In LHZ an infinite-range spin-glass is mapped onto the low energy subspace of a spin-1/2 lattice gauge model with quasi-local four-body parity constraints. This spin model can be emulated in a natural way with Rubidium and Caesium atoms in a bipartite optical lattice involving laser-dressed Rydberg-Rydberg interactions, which are several orders of magnitude larger than the relevant decoherence rates. This makes the exploration of coherent quantum enhanced optimization protocols accessible with state-of-the-art atomic physics experiments.

Quantum computing with defects.

Project description:Identifying and designing physical systems for use as qubits, the basic units of quantum information, are critical steps in the development of a quantum computer. Among the possibilities in the solid state, a defect in diamond known as the nitrogen-vacancy (NV(-1)) center stands out for its robustness--its quantum state can be initialized, manipulated, and measured with high fidelity at room temperature. Here we describe how to systematically identify other deep center defects with similar quantum-mechanical properties. We present a list of physical criteria that these centers and their hosts should meet and explain how these requirements can be used in conjunction with electronic structure theory to intelligently sort through candidate defect systems. To illustrate these points in detail, we compare electronic structure calculations of the NV(-1) center in diamond with those of several deep centers in 4H silicon carbide (SiC). We then discuss the proposed criteria for similar defects in other tetrahedrally coordinated semiconductors.
